Mom Guilt & Me-Time: Finding Balance in Parenthood

Dr. Simone shares a reflective episode from Copenhagen about enjoying family time while navigating persistent mom guilt. She talks candidly about the tension that can arise with partners, the relief of moments when someone else cares for you (like a hairdresser appointment), and the struggle many mothers face to carve out personal time.

She encourages mothers to be bold about claiming me-time, explaining that self-care is essential to restore energy and be able to give to others. Practical, empathetic, and calming, the episode centers on finding balance and permission to prioritize yourself.
